Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Li Heng's Adam's apple rolled up and down. "Yesterday, she was kidnapped by people from Southern Xinjiang on her way back to the palace from the palace. It's my fault. I should have escorted her. I just want to know if Ling'er was hurt."

This was a confusing statement. Wen Yuan glanced at him and said, "Ling'er is my concubine. I will take care of her. What does this have to do with you, Your Highness?"

"Sister-in-law, I just want to see her." Li Heng's voice trembled slightly, and if you listened carefully, you could detect a pleading tone in his voice.

A prince waited all night, soaked all over. The person he wanted to see must be extremely important.

"It's strange, why is Prince Ruiping suddenly so concerned about my maid?"

Wen Yuan pretended not to understand his intention and lowered his eyes to look at the bird in his palm.

The docile and friendly bird pecked her a few times, which didn't hurt and was even a little itchy.

Li Heng did not answer her question.

Ling'er is Ji Xingyao. No one would believe such a ridiculous statement.

Li Heng didn't want to say anything that was completely unfounded and disgust Wen Yuan.

"I just want to know if she's hurt, that's all."

"No." Wen Yuan answered crisply: "Your Highness has got the answer, please go back."

"......."

Li Heng opened his dry lips, but the words he wanted to say were blocked by Wen Yuan.

The warm sunlight fell on Li Heng's shoulders, but could not shine into his heart.

During the stalemate between the two sides, Wen Yuan ignored Li Heng and concentrated on entertaining the bird.

This bird is so smart that it can open and close the door by itself.

Wen Yuan thought to himself, let Ji Xingyao come and play with them later, she loves these weird toys the most.

"Cough, cough..."

Li Heng coughed silently, then realized that he couldn't infect Wen Yuan, so he took a few steps back.

A wave of sadness surged in his heart. From last night till now, Wen Yuan had been deliberately ignoring him. He knew that Wen Yuan was determined and that he would not be able to see Ling'er today.

"Sister-in-law, tell Ling'er that if she is summoned by the Censorate, don't be afraid and just state the facts truthfully. I won't bother you any more. I'm leaving now."

Hearing that he was leaving, Wen Yuan finally turned his gaze from the bird to Li Heng: "Goodbye, Prince Ruiping. I won't see you off."

Li Heng did not hesitate and walked out of Yonghe Palace directly.

He waited all night and was satisfied when he heard that Ling'er was not hurt.

Outside Yonghe Palace, Lu Feilin was waiting at the door.

"Your Majesty?"

Lu Feilin went to meet him, a look of shock on his face. After not seeing him for a night, the prince had become a completely different person.

A word popped into Lu Feilin's mind: fragile.

Although the words have nothing to do with Li Heng, Lu Feilin feels that they are very appropriate.

Li Heng pursed his thin lips and walked less than a hundred meters before he suddenly started coughing violently.

He leaned his arms on the palace wall, coughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

His veins were exposed, extending to his forearms, and he was almost half-kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness!" Lu Feilin stepped forward quickly and supported him.

As soon as he touched Li Heng's body, Lu Feilin felt like he was holding a stove.

"Your Majesty, you have a fever."

Li Heng's brain was burned so badly that he was almost unconscious. His lips were chapped and his breath was incredibly hot.

Lu Feilin was so frightened that his eyebrows flew up to the sky. He immediately helped Li Heng up and went to find the imperial physician.

After Li Heng left, Ji Xingyao came from the backyard and stood under the corridor with Wen Yuan to play with the birds.

"What happened in the Ruiping Palace? I think Li Heng has already doubted your identity."

Ji Xingyao sprinkled some bird food on her palm. The little bird flapped its wings and landed on her palm, eating its meal attentively.

Ji Xingyao thought about it and said, "I met Tao Xi and talked about some unimportant things."

"anything else?"

Ji Xingyao also recalled the Taoist priest who returned with Li Heng that night. He pointed at her and said something, but because he was drunk and his words were unclear, Ji Xingyao did not hear clearly.

"Taoist priest?" Wen Yuan's heart sank.

Li Heng had told her before that he had brought back a Taoist master from the frontier. He said that Li Heng had an aura from another world.

The scent came from a strand of Ji Xingyao's hair that Li Hengji hid.

Wen Yuan didn't take Li Heng's words to heart, thinking he was just a deceitful sorcerer.

However, considering Li Heng's attitude today, Wen Yuan suspected that the Taoist priest was not a charlatan, but might have some real skills.

And Ji Xingyao...

Wen Yuan looked at her and said, "Li Heng has always believed that you are not dead. He brought back a Taoist master this time. I'm afraid he ran into you that night."

Ji Xingyao knew that he had too many flaws and anyone with a keen eye would definitely notice something was wrong.

However, she was not worried. Instead, she comforted Wen Yuan: "Don't worry, as long as I don't take off the human skin mask and deny it, he won't be able to confirm my identity. There is no DNA testing technology here. How credible is it to rely solely on the Taoist's words?"

Wen Yuan agreed with her, but there was a question in her mind: "Do you still have feelings for Li Heng?"

Ji Xingyao released the bird in his hand and chuckled, "Ayuan, you underestimate me. Isn't eight years enough for me to see a person clearly? I paid a life and a lifetime of wealth in exchange for a bloody lesson. How can I easily write off such a heavy price? Not killing him with my own hands is already my greatest kindness."

So that’s how it is. That’s good. Wen Yuan felt that she had finally grown up.

The girl who once bravely gave up everything for love built an iron wall with blood scabs and no longer accepted the temptation of love.

"Besides, during those few months when I wore it back then, I was busy playing and hadn't kissed a foreigner yet. Now that I think about it, it's such a pity." Ji Xingyao felt annoyed.

Wen Yuan covered his mouth and laughed out loud: "It's not enough for a man to be big, and he still wants to kiss a foreigner's mouth."

"No, what's the point of me kissing you alone? When you come back, we can kiss you together."

"......"

Wen Yuan is not interested in foreigners. She loves freedom and is willing to explore the mountains, rivers, streets and alleys.

Lively and vigorous energy flowed through Wen Yuan's body. She hadn't envisioned her future for a long time. Her desire for freedom, which had never been extinguished, was still so strong that it almost burst out of her heart and lungs.

"Ayuan, no matter where you want to go in the future, I will accompany you." Ji Xingyao understood Wen Yuan. She had a pair of invisible wings behind her, and no one could stop her from flying.

"okay."

At noon, Ji Xingyao accompanied Wen Yuan for lunch, and the Censorate indeed sent someone to summon Ling'er.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I just want Miss Ling'er to explain the process. There is nothing else important."

Wen Yuan naturally knew the procedure, so she nodded and agreed to release the person.

So, Ji Xingyao stepped into the Wei prison for the second time.
